Previously published as Saving the Wretched Slum Girl, Ella Cornish (Author)
A slum girl with nothing. A factory heir with everything to lose. Their worlds were never meant to touch, but their hearts didn't listen. In the soot-choked alleys of East End London, young Alice Smythe knows only hardship. Forced to work in the perilous Langford Cotton Mill from the tender age of seven, she scrapes through life with blistered hands and a bruised spirit-until a chance encounter with Matthew Langford, the mill owner's son, gives her a fleeting taste of something sweeter. Years pass. Alice, now a young woman, labours endlessly to keep her fragile family afloat. Matthew, burdened with his father's legacy, can't forget the girl who once swept the floors of his empire, or the injustice carved into her back. Their worlds were never meant to collide again. Yet some secrets linger, and some promises refuse to be forgotten. As love quietly blossoms in the shadows of class and cruelty, both must choose between the expectations of society and the stirrings of their hearts. A stirring tale of forbidden love, sacrifice, and resilience-perfect for fans of clean and emotionally warm Victorian Romance. Read A Shilling for the Slum Girl's Dreams today and lose yourself in a world where love is a lifeline and hope is the most dangerous thing of all.
